A N Sridhar
Depends on the time. A.N.Sridhar is best if you have adequate time.

Observing the trend in N16 exam, I feel that the book with the most comprehensive coverage of the syllabus and max. no. of sums shall be suited to my needs. Hitherto, I've felt that A.N.S might be a concise book as compared to say, Rajesh Makkar's book.

I plan to purchase in Jan 2017. Pls suggest.

For may 2017?

Yes, I intend to appear in May 2017 term.

Manisha madam , 

i am also planing to write in May 2017 . Kindly Plz suggest me too for all subject 

Jeet, for May 2017 exam, this book might be time consuming. Depending on how many groups you are writing, you can allocate time. If it is only one, you can go with this. if not, I suggest you get some handy notes or video classes for better understanding and quick study
Hi Amisha, among pattabhiram and sridhar, which book is good for a fresher with only ipcc basics? Thank you

I plan to appear in M17 for the group I'm left with i.e Gr1. Now, A N Sridhar's book helped me a lot to pass ICWA Final. However, after a glance at the CA-F N16 ques paper, I feel it hits on the basic stuff. I strongly feel that something more advanced is needed to crack the SFM paper in the forthcoming exams, if N16's level is maintained.

Some1 suggested me Mr. Makkar's book. Any idea abt that?

I am not aware of Mr. Makkar's book. But, since you have only one group, Sridhar sir book should be fine too..
Hi Amisha, Can you please suggest some good English Video classes for SFM?
Whatever book you study please supplement the same with Practice Manual.
SFM Practice Manual is highly recommended as I have seen people scoring over 70 in SFM only by following Practice Manual.
